So small word. I am at my house working cutting baseboard for the floor when I get a call. It is a hunting buddy from Mass. He asks me if I would be willing to help his buddy that just shot an elk in Montana. I was like, "sure". So he connects us via text, including gps coordinates. The drive to the trailhead is only twenty minutes from my house. I grab my son in law and off we go. 1.5 mile hike up some steep terrain that is as thick as can be. We spent the next six hours butchering and hauling. We got it all out in two trips. It was a great experience. I learned a lot and realized I can throw 60 pounds on my back and hike out. Next year I will have the time and opportunity to do it myself!
